In order to plot y%3Ex%2B2, we need to plot the equation y=x%2B2 first


+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2Cx%2B2%29+ Graph of y=x%2B2


Now plug in the test point (0,0) into the inequality y%3Ex%2B2


0%3E%280%29%2B2 Plug in x=0 and y=0


0%3E2 Evaluate and simplify


Since the inequality is false, this means that we shade the entire region that does NOT contain the point (0,0). So this means that we shade the entire region above the line.
